Best Garden at a Business Award 2014
Giving Tree Gardens and Northbound Brewpub were honored to have been awarded the
best gardens at a business award from Metro Blooms in 2013
for our gardens on the
patio. This patio surround garden is full of exciting garden amenities including native plantings, 12-foot tall brewers
hops
growing on vines, and
edible sweet potatoes
growing in
tropical flower boxes
.
Giving Tree Gardens is proud of this
nutrient cycling garden
at Northbound. Northbound contracts with Giving Tree to
compost the brewing waste
they create such as barley and wild rice. Giving Tree then returns this compost to the gardens in the spring to rejuvenate the ground. This sustainable garden was envisioned together by the owners of Northbound Brewpub,
Jamie Robinson and Amy Johnson
and Giving Tree's Russ Henry.

The Best Business Garden
in the city, from the
organization of Minneapolis.
